WHEREAS, studies and investigations made by the City Council and in its behalf
reveal the following facts:
1. The Environmental Quality Element adopted in 1979 calls for a specific
plan (master plan) of design for all parks in the City of West Covina.
2. The proposed park master plan is consistent with the General Plan
Environmental Quality Element goals of "Provide adequate recreational
facilities and programs for the citizens of West Covina" and "Provide for
the preservation of natural resource areas which serve as habitat for
indigenous wildlife and vegetation."
3. The proposed park master plan is consistent in size, with the
requirements for a neighborhood park.
4. Along with the adoption of the proposed park master plan, the terminology
used to define the park plan shall be changed from Specific Plan to
Master Plan to make the term consistent with the City's implementation
process.
5. The park master plan for Heritage Gardens takes into account the
different users of the park and is designed to meet the needs of all users;
the young, the elderly, and the disabled.
6. An initial study disclosed that although the project could have a significant
effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case
because mitigation measures have been incorporated into the project's
design and as conditions of approval. A Negative Declaration of
Environmental Impact has been prepared for the proposed project
